You watch her for the last time in this season. It is ok under these circumstances.



I think she's pretty good at her job, but I can see how personality would rub some of the ESPN suits the wrong way

yeah ABC really trying to the push the underdog narrative.
That's call. GSW can have the narrative. Raps will take the 'ship.

Draymond with already four turnovers.
The only good thing is that the Raptors only lead by three. So they have still a tiny chance.

Gsw has them exactly where they need to considering curry was quiet. One big 3rd quarter spurt and they can put the raps away.

GS is going to the stripe too often, twice as much as us.

I must have missed it. Which play/call/shot?


Draymond Green 3 pointer was called a 2 in the first quarter. Replay showed he was behind the line but the score was never corrected.

Has any other player faced the defense curry gets on a nightly basis in the playoffs? I'm not sure.

Stop hitting three point shooters in the arm and the FT attempts are even.

It’s an exaggeration but they literally have only two threats on the offensive end and both are jump shooters.

Raptors can dare the rest of the team to shoot or make a play. Only Green can when Klay/Curry create the spacing and he can’t shoot. If one of Curry/Klay is off, the Warriors have very little chance of winning the game.

That is their plan clearly. Problem is Curry does not force. He is not Kyrie. He is an MVP, owner of all things "PM" and multiple time champ for a reason. "It's over" :lol: :lol:
